EDGE DiskGO! USB Watch Flash Drive

So you think you're cool with your USB keychain memory device? We've got you beat. The new EDGE DiskGO! USB Watch Flash Drive has 128MB or 256MB of built-in flash memory, with the USB connector cleverly concealed in the rubber wristband. It's comfortable on the wrist, and a red LED at the 9:00 position signals drive activity when loading or unloading files. At a recent trade show our test unit got lots of use, moving presentations and miscellaneous files from machine to machine, and we never had to fish in our pockets or briefcase for it. The DiskGO! comes with a USB extension cable so that you can keep it right on your wrist when in use.

For all that memory within, the analog watch does nothing but tell time. We'd love to see some alarm, timer, or PDA functions in a future version.
